Setting a beat for modern silverwork
- • Yuki specialises in the arare technique
- • She works on the balance between matt and gloss
- • Her pieces are the result of her rich cultural background
Yuki Ferdinandsen was born in Japan and has been living in Denmark since 1988. She trained as a silversmith and chaser in both countries. After finishing the Institute of Precious Metals she worked at the silverware company, Georg Jensen, and today has her own workshop. She has participated in a number of exhibitions around the world, and won several highly prestigious awards. A single piece from Yuki's workshop can take months of disciplined work. Once the silver object has been raised as a form, the process to define the surface begins. The result is a sculptural work that is artistically meaningful, both in concept and form. Her treatment of the surface is painstakingly executed with chased bumps in intricate patterns.
